detect one too soon. This may cause your
vehicle to brake late or unexpectedly.
Because of their narrow profile, the vehicles
traveling near the outer edges of the lane
have not yet been detected by the Distronic.
There will be insufficient distance to the
preceding vehicles.
Offset driving
Distance warning function
When the Distronic is deactivated, this
function will continue to warn you when
recognizing a stationary obstacle or a slower
vehicle moving in your vehicle’s path and the
danger of a collision exists:
RThe distance warning lampÒ in the
speedometer comes on red.
A vehicle traveling in your lane but offset from
your direct line of travel may not be detected
by the Distronic. There will be insufficient
distance to the preceding vehicle.
RAn intermittent warning will sound if
necessary.
If these warnings are issued, you must apply
the brakes to maintain a safe distance and
avoid a collision with the preceding vehicle.
Lane changing
When depressing the brake pedal, the
warning sound ceases. The warning sound
will also cease when the distance to the
preceding vehicle is sufficient again without
applying the brakes. In this case, the distance
warning lampÒ will also go out.
G Warning!
If the distance warning lamp (red)Ò in the
speedometer comes on while driving and/or
an intermittent warning sounds, immediate
attention on the part of the driver is required.
As required by the traffic situation, apply the
brakes and navigate around a possible
obstacle. However, do not drive by relying on
the distance warning function, as this will
result in an emergency braking application.
This will not always enable you to avoid a
collision, especially when traveling on varying
road surface conditions and with varying
driver reaction.
The Distronic has not yet detected the vehicle
changing lanes. There will be insufficient
distance to the lane-changing vehicle.
Narrow vehicles
Complex driving situations are not always
fully recognized by the distance warning
function. This could result in wrong or missing
distance warnings.
